| So I thought it'd be interesting to find out who's watching my videos, what you guys are like, and so I'm using the YouTube analytics and a few surveys that I've done. | |
| So at time of recording, my channel has 320,000 subscribers, and my videos have had over 72 million views, and I get about 5.5 million views a month. | |
| My audience is overwhelmingly male, with almost 94% being men, and 6% being women. | |
| About 42% of my audience is between 25 and 34, with 18 to 24 being the second largest age bracket, and 35 to 44 being the third. | |
| Just under 4% of my audience is less than 18 years old. | |
| These people mostly live in the first world, with the top 10 locations being the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Finland, Norway and Denmark. | |
| And there seems to be a remarkably consistent spread of the age demographics across these countries. | |
| It's roughly the same for all of them. | |
| To find out the broad political leanings of my audience, I asked them to perform a political compass test, and then tell me the results on a survey that only allows one entry per IP address. | |
| Over 34,000 people gave me their political leanings, which included an attempt at brigading from 4chan, but to be honest with you, I don't think this had much effect. | |
| 55% of my audience falls into the libertarian left quadrant, with another 35% falling into the libertarian right. | |
| Only 4% of my audience is authoritarian left, and finally around 7% of my audience are apparently right-leaning authoritarian. | |
| However, this was the category subject to brigading from 4chan. | |
| I wasn't expecting any brigading, so I didn't think to take screenshots of this as it was going along, but I was monitoring the survey as it was being filled in by people, and it was, before the brigading, 4% authoritarian left and authoritarian right. | |
| So, 4chan, you managed to get 3%, I think, on this survey. | |
| Well done. | |
| I also asked my audience to do a religious affiliation survey, which got over 54,000 responses. | |
| Over half of the respondents said that they were atheist, with another 15% saying they were agnostic, making nearly 75% of my audience that is non-religious. | |
| The Christian denominations made up around 17% of my audience, with 6% being non-affiliated deists, around 3% were Muslim, and 1% were Jewish. | |
| Specifically practicing religious Jews rather than racially. | |
| So there we have it. | |
| The average audience member for my channel is an adult man who is an atheist and a left-leaning libertarian who lives in the West. | |
| I'd like to thank everyone who took part in the surveys and who supports me on Patreon and just takes the time to watch my videos. | |
| I really appreciate it. | |
| And I think a special shout out needs to go to that one person who was too lazy to answer a one question survey. | |
| Seriously though, thanks everyone for taking part and I really it's been really interesting to know the general composition of my audience and frankly I'm actually really not surprised by any of these results. | |
| In fact these were the general impressions I got from my audience as I've been carrying on with my channel but it's nice to be able to demonstrate it with some data. | |
